Krill Oil Market Report by Product Type (Liquid, Softgels, Capsules), Application (Dietary Supplements, Animal Feed, Functional Foods and Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, and Others), and Region 2025-2033
The global krill oil market size reached USD 774.0 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,817.8 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.45% during 2025-2033. There are various factors that are driving the market, which include the rising focus on health and wellness due to changing lifestyles and busy schedules of individuals, increasing geriatric population, and the growing prevalence knee osteoarthritis.
Krill Oil Market Trends:
Rising Focus on Health and Wellness
People are becoming more conscious about their lifestyle and seeking healthy food products. Omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil are well-known for their ability to reduce triglycerides, lower blood pressure, and decrease the risk of heart disease. These acids benefit in improving brain function and slowing cognitive decline. This attracts consumers looking to maintain or enhance their mental sharpness. Omega-3 fatty acids are also recognized for their anti-inflammatory effects, which can help manage conditions like arthritis and other inflammatory diseases among individuals. Furthermore, the rising focus on preventive healthcare measures is catalyzing the krill oil demand. The increasing trend of using natural and holistic health products over synthetic alternatives is propelling the market growth. As per the research report of the IMARC Group, the global health and wellness market is projected to reach US$ 5,155.6 Billion by 2032.
Increasing Geriatric Population
As people age, they become more susceptible to cardiovascular diseases. Krill oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and it is known to reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering triglycerides, reducing blood pressure, and improving cholesterol levels. The rising focus on enhancing the quality of life and addressing age-related health issues is bolstering the krill oil market growth. The omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil aid in protecting against age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. Regular supplementation can contribute to maintaining eye health and preserving vision. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that the number of persons aged 80 years or older is expected to reach 426 million by 2050.
Growing Prevalence of Knee Osteoarthritis
The rising prevalence of knee osteoarthritis (OA) among individuals is impelling the market growth. Knee OA is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage in the knee joint, which leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. The condition causes chronic pain and inflammation, which significantly affects the quality of life of those affected, thereby offering a positive krill oil market outlook. Key players are introducing krill products that cater to patients with this problem. For instance, on 5 July 2024, a study conducted by CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, across three clinical trial sites in Australia, and sponsored by Swisse's H&H Research, investigated the effects of krill oil on adults suffering from mild to moderate knee OA. The six-month rigorously designed clinical trial concluded that Swisse High Strength Deep Sea Krill Oil (Superba(TM) BOOST krill oil phospholipids) was safe to consume and resulted in improvements in knee pain, stiffness, and physical function in adults with mild to moderate OA.
